Bruins were the much better team in the 1st at least

That was their 2nd "shot" of the period lol...and the 1st was a wrap around 30sec in.

Chara has to be better....just silly


Heard a few people tell me that Boston looks good today B)

This is the team we can NEVER beat too lol, so hearing that we're outplaying them is pretty comforting

Carolina it is

I'm expecting a low scoring series

Them sweeping NYR may be good for us, they won't have played a game for about a week

Almost everyone from WEEI and 985 freaking out :lol:

God forgive these guys for working hard all year to secure the 1 seed....and the NHL slaps them in the face with a round robin format...pass.

It's not that shocking that they came out so fucking flat but slowly got better game by game....1st line still looks like shit though. This I am a bit worried about.

They looked great against the Caps and the 2 goals allowed are SO easy to clean up......McAvoy please stop pinching....and Chara should clear the puck and not try to skate away with that one...
Holtby is Vezina against us EVERY GAME. Losing to the Caps isn't shocking....Is that 17 of last 19? LOOOOOOL

Not worried at all unless we get the Caps simply because we just don't beat them.

Yeah lol I'm not panicking either, if we go down 0-2 in the series right off the bat then I will.

Playoffs are officially here B)

Some were concerned that Pasta was unfit to practice yesterday but he was on the ice for the optional skate today.

Same for Rask, but I'm assuming it's common for goalies to sometimes get a day off from practice if they played the previous night and have a game on the following day?

So much panic....not yet people

Most of my friends are panicking and accepting that we're going to get swept lmao

The only players that are worrying me are Bergeron, McAvoy & Chara because they've looked horrid so far, and they're hella important
Rask looks sharp, so that alone should give anyone confidence

They haven’t looked too bad, definitely some rust from lay-off

It is too bad they couldn’t have had some more meaningful games under their belts to get back into it, but if this team is really as good as they are they will find a way to get there in this series

Carolina is a scary good team, however if the perfection line is rolling the bruins have a good chance

I have faith in Rask, he doesn’t choke til the ship is on the line ^_^

ESPN experts have us as the biggest underdog in any series

Usually a good sign

McAvoy just has to stay back. His aggression really hurts at times. Why does he always have to try and intercept or keep it in the offensive zone? You're next to Chara ffs :lol:

1st line is the biggest concern imo. They weren't that great last year either during the playoffs.

They seem to disappear when the other team is playing physically. Their numbers were inflated in the playoffs last year thanks to the PP
Teams figured out how to slow em down 5 on 5 :/

Kind of out of left field, but if they struggle, I wouldn't mind seeing Marchand-Bergeron-Ritchie & DeBrusk-Krejci-Pastrnak, just to have a big body on the top line if we end up getting bullied
